It is located at the southwest point of the Lauritzen Gardens, Omaha's botanical gardens, just north of Interstate 80, and just west of the Missouri River and the Iowa state border. On static display in the park are examples of two of Union Pacific's most powerful locomotives: EMD DDA40X No. 6900, the first of the class, and Big Boy No. 4023.[3]
In 2004, Kenefick Park was moved from Abbott Drive north of downtown to make way for CenturyLink Center Omaha, an arena and convention center.
